"The duel is not fair!" Suddenly, Liu Yanxu spoke, her eyes piercingly looking at Taichang, saying, "Since it's a gamble, you can't just make Bexia pay the price, if you lose, you have to pay something too!"
"How could I possibly lose to this brat!" Taichang's words were infuriating.
"If that's the case, are you willing to gamble with your Lord's seal?" Liu Yanxu said.
"What is there to fear, but if I win, I want this kid to never appear in front of me again!" Taichang confidently said, not believing he would lose to Bexia.
"Do you dare to battle me, youngster!" Taichang looked at Bexia and asked, his eyes full of provocation.
"Why wouldn't I!" Bexia wasn't afraid either, since they had agreed to suppress their strength, Bexia was also very confident among peers.
"In that case, pledge with a hell oath, whoever breaks the oath will be condemned by hell!" Liu Yanxu said.
"Good! Who's afraid of whom!" Upon hearing this, Taichang was even a bit smug, because once a hell oath was made, there was no turning back. Otherwise, one would face the condemnation of hell, which was not something an ordinary person could bear.
"Since that's the case, Taichang, you shall battle with equal strength, and if you lose, you must hand over the Lord's seal!"
"If I win, I'll make this kid disappear in front of me forever!" Taichang's gaze towards Bexia was not good, filled with killing intent. This duel was definitely not a simple one.
"Who wins and who loses is not certain yet!"
Both of them swore to hell's will with their souls. A special power enveloped them the moment the oath was made. After warning Bexia to be careful, Liu Yanxu stepped aside.
In a sense, Taichang was fooled by both of them, as Bexia did not belong to hell. Even if he won, Bexia would just return to the mortal world. As long as he completed the task, he might not come to hell again, so this oath had little impact on him.
As for Taichang's Lord's seal, Bexia didn't know what it was, but he could tell it was important to Taichang because there was a hint of hesitation in Taichang's eyes when Liu Yanxu mentioned it.
"Kid, I will show you what a huge mistake it is to get close to Yanxu!" Taichang waved his hand, and a long sword appeared, engraved with intricate ancient patterns, clearly extraordinary.
"Let's see if you have what it takes!" Taichang's strength suppressed immortal gods, but Bexia already had an immortal god body, and his power had reached its peak. He was the strongest beneath the immortal gods. Therefore, he was not afraid of Taichang at all.
"Mount Tai Life and Death Sword!"
Taichang's arm shook as black and white life and death breath circulated on the long sword, launching an attack on Bexia in an instant, appearing right in front of him in a flash!
Taichang's strength was certainly not lacking, his confidence was not unfounded. With his pride, he also had the confidence. Even though he suppressed his strength, in his view, the level of combat experience and vision was not something Bexia could match. Even for a strong genius, it was impossible to surpass levels of consciousness and experience under equal strength.
*Clang!* Bexia raised a hand and condensed an ice crystal warblade to block the sword that Taichang thrust at him. Then, a burst of cold air erupted along the sword, preparing to freeze Taichang's sword.
"Humph!" Taichang snorted, his wrist shook, and the black and white auras on the sword shook, shattering the mixed-element ice crystal. With a backhanded palm, he imprinted towards Bexia's chest.
"Oh!" Bexia was slightly surprised, but reacted quickly, raising a foot to meet the attack.
*Thud!* A muffled sound erupted upon collision. Bexia's raw power had already surpassed the limit of a Saint. In the physical clash, Taichang didn't gain the upper hand. Instead, he suffered a slight setback, retreating a dozen steps before stabilizing, while Bexia only retreated five or six steps, displaying the difference in strength.
"Not bad!" Taichang's expression changed as he felt the immense power of Bexia. He immediately took him seriously, gripping the long sword with both hands, splitting into two hundred long swords, one black and one white.
"I have plenty more where that came from!" Bexia smiled lightly and then flashed, using the power of space to instantly appear in front of Taichang, mercilessly slashing with his warblade.
*Clang! Clang! Clang!* The sounds of collision were incessant as their battle entered a fierce exchange, with the spreading shockwaves comparable to the level of a peak Saint. The two colliding individuals dispersed forces that swept in all directions.
However, this kind of battle favored Bexia the most, as his physical strength was much stronger than Taichang's after suppressing his power. This close combat was completely in Bexia's favor.
After a moment of fighting, Taichang also felt the exceptional strength of Bexia's physical body. He frowned and realized he couldn't keep fighting with someone who clearly had the upper hand in physical strength.
"Life and Death Spin!" Taichang crossed his swords, and the black and white life and death energies turned into a huge pointed spiral rushing towards Bexia, forcing him to retreat, then taking the opportunity to escape from Bexia's relentless attacks.
"Tai Shan Titans!" Creating some distance, Taichang immediately formed nine stone giants to surround Bexia. Each of these stone giants had strength equivalent to that between a Saint and an Immortal God, making it difficult for Bexia to break free at once.
